Expand a number in a cell to the number of rows

Hi,

 

I have a table

klehar_0-1630075259159.png

 

I want to expand the duration column such that if it is 10, then I should get 11 rows starting from 0 to 10 for my column period

If duration = 2 then my period column should have 3 rows 0,1,2

 

See expected output below.

IDDurationPeriod
ID101100
ID101101
ID101102
ID101103
ID101104
ID101105
ID101106
ID101107
ID101108
ID101109
ID1011010
ID10220
ID10221
ID10222
ID10330
ID10331
ID10332
ID10333
